44. Chapter 44: Whitewashing
Although becoming a missionary boy gave Mu Mu and the other two friends much less time to play together, the three of them still stayed together after dusk every day, and on the surface, the change in status did not seem to affect their friendship.
One afternoon after the prophecy tarot gave him a world guide, Abu was returning home from buying food from outside and found a suspicious person wrapped in a gray robe, cowering and turning around, wandering around a nearby alley.
Looking in the direction the man was looking, Abu was astonished to find that he was standing from a position where he could see through the gaps between the many buildings to the top floor of the palace, the bell tower where the heart of wisdom was kept.
He's lived here for so long and hasn't even noticed this?
But why did this sneaky man keep staring there?
Is it trying to do wrong?
But it was so far away from the palace that he couldn't do anything he wanted to.
After thinking about it, Abu didn't pay attention to this strange man, twisted his head, and went home.
But the next day, he met the gray-robed man again, and this time, the gray-robed man not only looked suspicious, but also stood in place and twitched from time to time, wondering if there was something wrong.
Just when he decided not to meddle with his business after thinking about it, Mu Mu's voice came from not far away.
"Abu, what are you doing standing here?" As he spoke, Mu Mu had already approached this side, and of course he saw the gray-robed man, "Huh? Who is he? ”
Abu shook his head: "I don't know, this is the second time I've seen him, and he was here yesterday."
Mu Mu stared at the gray-robed man for a long time, and also noticed that the clock tower could be seen through the cracks in the building.
"I've lived here for so many years, and I didn't even know that I could see the bell tower of the palace here!"
Probably because he was too loud, the gray-robed man was about to flee with a shock and pulled down his hood, but his legs and feet didn't seem to be very dexterous, he limped when he walked, and just two steps later, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and he struggled for a long time and didn't get up.
Seeing this, Abu and Mu Mu walked over to that side, and Mu Mu took the lead and stepped forward to help, but the man vigorously broke away, grabbed the edge of the hood with his hand wrapped around his sleeve, and protected his face from being seen.
Abu immediately frowned, "What is he doing?"
Mu Mu glanced at the hand that had been broken free, and thought back to the touch he felt through his clothes just now...... It doesn't seem like wood, it doesn't look like a puppet.
Foreigners?
During this time, because of the prophecy of Tarot, many foreigners came to the puppet country, and the foreigners who are usually rare to see have long become unsurprising in the eyes of the puppet country, but it is still the first one to cover so tightly like the one in front of him.
And the direction he just looked......
Mu Mu glanced up at the bell tower, and reached out to pull the man's hood: "Please show your face, otherwise I will suspect that you are a wanted suspect!"
Mu Mu moved, and it was impossible for Abu to stand by and watch, so he stepped forward to help.
When the man saw someone move his hood, he was so anxious that he almost shrunk into a pangolin, struggling to protect his face.
But even so, he didn't make a sound, and was as quiet as a mute, but Mumu and Abu didn't notice this, they just wanted to see what he looked like.
After all, the strength of one person was no match for two people, and it didn't take long for the gray-robed man's hood to be torn off with a "hiss-" sound, revealing his true face.
All three of them stayed where they were at the same time.
The charcoal head, with a few sparse and curly scorched yellow hairs on the top of the head, and large round eyes that look particularly happy on a black face, at first glance, looks like a failed product of the creation of the gods.
Having his hood ripped off, the man's eyes were filled with chagrin, fear, and low self-esteem at first, but when he saw Abu, his eyes were filled with fear, and then he screamed and ran away.
His hoarse voice suddenly let out a strange scream, so unpleasant and harsh that Abu and Mumu's expressions distorted a little at the same time.
But seeing that he was about to run, Mu Mu subconsciously grabbed his wrist.
"Click!"
His charcoal arm was broken by him.
Mu Mu stiffened, and the hand holding the man's wrist immediately loosened, and he successfully broke free.
Dragging the broken arm, the man rubbed out less than two meters before he was stopped by Abu.
Staring at the black charcoal face, Abu tried to find traces on it that matched his spur of thought, but no matter how he looked at it, he had no resemblance to the old king.
Can't tell...... Then I have to ask.
"You're the old puppet king?"
The Coke Man immediately shuddered when he heard this, and shook his head like a rattle as he made a "ho-ho" sound from his throat, but Abu and Mumu confirmed his identity instead.
"How did you end up like this?!"
The Scorched Man just shook his head, and stepped back with his unbroken hand, looking like a wolf, not at all as invincible as when he once led the team to attack the Muppet Country.
He hadn't gone far before the retreat behind the coke man was blocked by a wall, and when he found that he could not retreat, his face showed a look of despair, and then his breathing suddenly became rapid, and after a few jerks, his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Seeing that he was unconscious, Abu and Mumu looked at each other, and after discussing it for a while, they decided to bring the people back first anyway, there are warriors at home, and even if he wakes up and wants to do something, he has the ability to suppress it.
The two of them worked together to lift him off the ground, and then found that this person was really light, not as heavy as the puppet Abu who was a teenager, and there was probably nothing left after losing the weight of the clothes on his body.
With such a fragile body, it's no wonder that Mu Mu can pinch his hand with just a slight pinch.
Although he was resurrected, with this body, what could the old king do even if he wanted to do evil?
has long been paved with Alice's guidance, and the two of them have a subtle change in their opinions about him.
Carrying the "fragile object" and moving cautiously in the direction of home, neither Abu nor Mumu noticed that the eyes of the person who should have been unconscious opened a thin slit at some point, and his gaze swept over the top of their heads before closing again.
Mumu 78%, Abu 60%.
Very good, the protagonist's strategy has already achieved initial results, and it lives up to her deliberate use of the "Shadow Queen Aura" skill, as long as you work harder next, you should be able to complete the main quest in these two days.
Calling up the control panel to check the "Shadow Queen Aura", he found that there were forty-seven minutes left to maintain the skill, and although the two people carried themselves were not fast, it should take less than a quarter of an hour to reach their residence, and the remaining half an hour or so was enough for them to play.
Carrying the charcoal king back home, Abu and Mumu were tired and sweating, and when they put him down, they found that many places on their bodies were stained with charcoal ashes, and then looked at the old king, although they had paid attention to it, he still had small charcoal pieces scratched off in many places, and he looked scarred.
Mu Mu checked the place that had been pinched by himself, and scratched his head in distress, not knowing how to connect an arm made of charcoal, and then Abu found that the old king had more than one fracture on his body, and his left leg knee joint was broken and tied with cloth, so he only limped when he walked.
The three of them discussed together for a long time, and finally decided to try it first with the raw rubber used to treat the puppet's broken legs, but if it didn't work, they could only go to the Prophecy Tarot to find a way.
Looking at the three people around his deliberately broken left leg carefully smearing the glue, Yang Qinglan suddenly opened her eyes and bounced up from the bed and stepped back, screaming in horror as she retreated, that table was enough to get the title of actor.
Holding a calf that had been glued and not yet glued, the warrior was taken aback by her, and almost threw the things in his hand out, but fortunately he was quickly pulled by Mu Muyan's hand, otherwise the old king would have to be a one-legged king next.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! We're not going to do anything to you, we're just giving you a leg pick! Abu tried to appease the old king, but the closer he got there, the more fierce the old king's reaction became, and the newly glued arm was broken in two again.
Seeing this, Mu Mu pushed Abu away: "He knows you, don't lean forward anymore!" ”
was reminded by Mu Muyi, Abu remembered that he had brought the rescuers of the puppet country to repel the puppet ** team led by the old king of the puppet country, and the two had a face-to-face fight when they were in the puppet country, and then the king was burned to death in the puppet country because he was lost.
No wonder he sees himself reacting so much now......
Abu touched his nose and silently stepped aside, dragging the big warrior back a few steps by the way, so as not to irritate the old king, who was already in a bad situation.
Seeing him walk away, the old king's reaction was really not so violent, but he was still vigilant when he stared at Mu Mu, and his whole body exuded an aura of "don't approach the living".
Mu Mu handed the bowl with raw rubber forward: "We are not close to you, but you need treatment, can you do it with one hand?" ”
The old king was stunned for a moment, looked down, and seemed to realize that he only had one hand and one leg left, and raised his hand to cover his face and cry.
The three people in the room twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time.
This cry...... It's so ugly!
Feeling that he was about to be made to cry by this cry, Mu Mu had to comfort him, and it took him a long time to stop his crying, and he was willing to ask people to help him stick his hands and legs - but still refused to allow Abu to come closer.
Feeling that his pride had been wounded, Abu pouted and turned his head to go out into the courtyard, out of sight and out of mind.
At the end of the "Shadow Queen Aura" effect, her hands and feet were also glued, Yang Qinglan looked at the 88% progress bar on Mu Mu's head and the 80% of Abu's progress bar displayed on the control panel with satisfaction, and lay on the bed that originally belonged to Abu and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Seeing that she was asleep, Mu Mu pulled Abu straight to the Tarot Sect's base camp, that is, the backyard of Aunt Yamamu's house, and told the Tarot Sect high-level on duty what he had seen today, which successfully attracted an exclamation.
So the next morning, the first person to receive guidance was temporarily changed from the previously determined candidate to Mu Mu.
Seeing that it was him who came in, Alice immediately knew that Lan Lan's side was going well, so she fooled around again and gave him a card with a new sprout of breaking ground on it and a tall tree in the background.
"The tarot cards give you guidance: fragile new life, strong future."
